Movable feasts?
 
Does anyone know the dates for Semana Blanca & Semana Santa 2009? Are they fixed or variable? I've emailed the Junta de Andalucia begging for school holiday dates to be posted on the school website but thus far no reply!
While on this subject, are the national holiday days also fixed to a day of the week or a date? (I understand about 'puentes' for schoolchildren but help with the rest would be useful!) It seems there are infinite variations with local fiestas & saints days, historic days, etc..... how does anyone else find out for sure?

It seems that Semana Blanca is the following date.
http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semana_Blanca
Semana Santa this year is on the weekend of the 3rd to 6th April. We know that as it is high season for us.

Excellent: thanks:thumbsup:

(still think they should both answer emails & put dates on individual school websites:frown: but that would be organised, wouldn't it:rofl:)

So... Ok... I read the thread Title "Movable Feasts" and got real excited!

I thought that this must be something to do with eating (which I'm good at).
I imagined that it was like the 80' rave scene where the gig could move elsewhere at a moments notice.
So, in my head, I imagined a great big gastronomic house party.

I am, naturally, a little disappointed. :frown:

Humblest apologies:rofl: ....
though a great big gastronomic house party sounds chuffing excellent, were it not for the swelling girth & disgruntled scales:rofl: nb have you seen the thread Food Porn? Now that's a thread title to misinterpret!
